<p>FYI. To the best of my knowledge these are the contents of the tweets in question. I leave it up to you to judge whether you think this is antisemitic or not. This is not content I have written and these are certainly not views I hold. However, I do think it is important to know and remember exactly what was said.<p>@breakingbaht<p><i>Okay.<p>Jewish communities have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.<p>I'm deeply disintereted in giving the tiniest shit now about western Jewish populations coming to the disturbing realization that those hordes of minorities that support flooding their country don't exactly like them too much.<p>You want truth said to your face, there it is.</i><p>@elonmusk<p><i>You have said the actual truth.</i></p>

<p>Exactly the same "old school media" published an article today entitled "Elon Musk visits scene of kibbutz massacre with Benjamin Netanyahu". The article mentions Musks recent post as the reason for his visit. A key take away from the article is Benjamin Netanyahu saying of Musk:<p><i>“I hope you will be involved. And the fact that you came here, I think, speaks volumes to your commitment to try to secure a better future.”</i><p>That does not square in the slightest with doing anything they can to make him/them look bad. It presents Musk as a reasonable guy who received praise from the PM of Israel. The article is here:<p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/nov/27/elon-musk-visits-scene-of-kibbutz-massacre-with-benjamin-netanyahu" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/nov/27/elon-musk-visi...</a></p>

<p>> I feel for the people of Europe; they deserve better. So many of the smart, lovely people you meet here are stuck on absurdly low salaries in countries without any obvious future other than managed decline. Instead of being offered a future, they're offered endless relitigation of the past.<p>Most of the Europeans I know leave the US as soon as they have kids. Everyone seems to prefer managed decline rather than having their kids attend lessons on what to do if a man with a gun comes into school.</p>

<p>> Do you need someone to explain why comparisons like that are effectively useless?<p>> It’s so dishonest and cheap I’m surprised to see it on HN and not on Reddit where it belongs, but here we are.<p>The account was created to post that comment.

<p>Welcome to high end academic neuroscience. It's a place where banal, but completely rational explanations are to be ignored in favour of hyperbole and media hype. The study will have been designed to only allow for publishable results. Anyone who understands the hardware involved will certainly question how this "entrainment" was achieved.</p>

<p>The SixthSense talk and the associated hype in 2009 was terrible. It was impossible to convince the majority that the cuts of demos in the TED talk were effectively choreographed set pieces, even though many scenes required tech which didn’t work like that.<p>The whole thing was hyped as “open” and liberating. Nothing was released until the hype died down (2011). What was released was not even close to the talk, it gained no traction and never iterated past v0.1.<p>SixthSense was a prime example of deliberate misinformation coming from academia. MIT Media Lab won a huge number of awards, Mistry was touted as a genius, and then absolutely nothing happened.</p>

<p>Agreed. The headline is fascinating the content is appalling.<p>PNAS reporting the shocking news that peoples heart rates tend to increase during the exciting part of a story and that an increased rate leads to higher correlation between subjects.<p>Edit: Without naming any author in particular - does anyone else spot a pattern whereby certain researchers consistently hype their findings to the point of borderline dishonesty?</p>

<p>There are plenty of people who feel and think the same.<p>Many people find it very difficult to understand that money is not always a motivator. This is a particularly difficult concept for managers to deal with.<p>If an employee is not motivated by additional remuneration, or in the case where they do not require an income, the relationship between employee and employer is fundamentally different.</p>

<p>> He is one of the most ethical people in the information security industry.<p>What does this statement actually mean? To my mind both cryptocurrency and cypherpunk culture have set some fairly low bars for ethical and moral conduct.<p>There appears to be a bit of a pattern of idolisation in crypto and cypher areas. A developer who fits the media mould of the 1995 Hackers film is spotlighted as saving the world. The spotlight brings attention and drives a project forward. Eventually the spotlight reveals these people have the same motivations as most people. Onlookers are disappointed.</p>

<p>What is your baseline for how good swipe typing is?<p>Pre-smartphone plenty of people touch typed text messages. No need to be staring at the screen. Stealth messages could be sent without taking the phone out of your pocket.<p>Physical keyboards probably appear to a significant section of people who would like to use their phone as a productivity device. Surely if swipe typing is so good it would be an option in Windows 10?<p>I agree on the price but I am still considering purchasing this phone.</p>

<p>The accused internet accounts are all linked via Keybase. The usernames and content go back as far as 2004. Lots of this information is already common knowledge in the UK because of previous scandals.<p>At what point do you acknowledge that her partner has been doxxed as a self-confessed paedophile? The alternative would involve an incredibly elaborate plot targetting a random US citizen years before he happened to meet the person involved.</p>

<p>Her partner posted content about being attracted to children as far back as 2015.<p>A five year setup followed by a Twitter hack seems incredibly unlikely.<p>Edit: The unique name used for her partners keybase account is associated with similar content posted in 2004. The evidence appears concrete that her partner is a self-confessed paedophile.</p>

<p>Is it acceptable to explain what happened on ycombinator or is the information banned here too? This is all documented on the Reddit admin concerneds Wikipedia page. It is relatively common knowledge in the UK.<p>Reddit hired an admin.<p>a) the admin's father is a convicted peadophile, he tortured a child in the house he shared with said admin.<p>b) the admin hired her father (post conviction) as her election agent.<p>c) the admin claimed not to know the full details of her fathers prosecution for torturing a child.<p>d) the admin was suspended from a UK political party after her partner tweeted peadophilic fantasies.<p>Is it not unsurprising that this created a disastrous situation for moderation and PR on Reddit? How on earth did Reddit not see this coming?<p>* Edit: Apologies the text should read post charge, pre convinction.</p>
